From west to east, the five armies of the Syrian army were the third, first, second, fourth, and fifth armies, with the Fifth Army attacking the Russian First Army, while the First, Second, and Fourth armies attacked the right flank of the Russian Second Army and the First Army defending the Shahe area.

Song Biao, Kuropatkin, and other senior staff officers of the Russian army unanimously judged that the main direction of attack of the Yue army must be the Second Army of the Russian army's right flank, and Song Biao also conclusively judged that if the Yue army launched an offensive on the front and left flank in advance, its real main offensive direction would be the Second Army.

Even so, in the midst of the onslaught of the Japanese army and the continuous requests for reinforcements from General Mishuchenko, Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin sent the Fourth Army as a reserve force to the frontal battlefield to reinforce the Second Army.

Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin had already begun to pay a heavy price for his hesitation, although the defense line of the First Army had been contracted, the defense line of the Second Army and the Third Army was still too wide, especially the Second Army, benefiting from the great victory in the Battle of Heigoutai, the Second Army still controlled the Heigoutai area, separating the right and center flanks of the Yue Army, but also suffered from the attack of the left and center flanks of the Yue Army at the same time.

After Kuropatkin transferred the reserve army to the battlefield, Dashan Yan immediately turned the attack of the First Army to the Second Army, and at the same time let Himunanori's Third Army bypass the Black Trench and attack the flank of the Second Army.

The reason why Dashanyan did not change his tactics because of the great victory of the navy was precisely because he concentrated the main machine guns and artillery in the First Army and the Third Army, in order to defeat the Russian Second Army, successfully break through the defense line of the right flank of the Russian army, make a detour to occupy Tieling and other places, realize the outflanking of the entire Russian army, and cut off the railway line on which the Russian army depends.

By 30 May, in just three days, the Russian Second Army suffered heavy losses in succession, and was forced to abandon the Shendanbao defense line and retreat on all fronts.

As a reparation measure, Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin could only push out the last reserve force, the Fifth Army, and tried to attack the right flank of the Third Army of Himunand, trying to force Himunanda to retreat.

…… Song Biao could not know all this, he stayed away from the frontline battlefield and hid in the rear line of the enemy army.

Behind him was the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Far East, and in the dark of the night, more than 3,000 soldiers had already equipped their bayonets, and in the night there was a cold cold light.

Song Biao had been preparing for this for too long, and the idea of Dashan Yan trying to wait for the decisive naval battle to launch an army decisive battle helped him a lot, giving him enough time to train his troops.

Unlike the Yue Army, even if it was the same night bayonet offensive tactics, Song Biao also made more changes, reasonably arranged shotguns and Cossack spears, and conducted a lot of night drills and training.

In order to solve the command headquarters of the Fifth Army of the Japanese Army as soon as possible, Song Biao will take the troops to attack at the same time with the two infantry regiments of Seudinsk, and concentrate the strength of the three infantry regiments with a total of more than 10,000 people to launch a real large-scale bayonet offensive in history, and win a decisive victory to destroy the opponent's reserve first brigade and headquarters.

Kornilov was holding a shotgun, about twenty paces away from Song Biao.

In the middle of the night like this, they couldn't see each other at all.

Confirming that the time was still an hour before 1 o'clock in the morning, Song Biao raised his hand slightly, and the signal soldiers behind him immediately scattered around to deliver the news, and the troops began to follow Song Biao along the hidden ravine in front of them.

Everyone continued to divide into four teams and advance in turns, each company 100 meters apart, and each company was in a row of three people, and they advanced in an orderly manner in accordance with the previous many exercises and training.

If it were not for Song Biao's previous rigorous and meticulous night training, it is questionable whether such a large army could effectively and silently arrive at Lime Tree Valley.

In the dark, Song Biao held the 03 rifle and secretly groped forward under the protection of Li Dayun and others.

It was not until the front was less than 300 meters away from the camp of a brigade of the army that the whole army hid in the mountains and forests and quietly waited for the arrival of the last moment, because it was located in the rear defense position, the army did not set up strict fortifications, only a normal guard setup, and pulled tight barbed wire and fences outside the barracks to prevent others from entering the barracks, and there were many sentries standing on the guard towers around it.

Song Biao took Li Fugui's reconnaissance company and continued to advance more than 200 steps to further observe the enemy camp.

This kind of thing might have gone more smoothly if Chen Wu's group of people had it, but after this period of training, Song Biao believed that his division headquarters reconnaissance company and the 1st Infantry Regiment in the Far East could also effectively complete this series of tasks or use a secret attack mode, Song Biao stopped at the southwest corner of the camp, and the four infantry companies behind him were scattered into two teams, facing the west gate and south gate of the camp, and the final assault point was here.

There is a clear difference between this kind of night attack on the camp and assault on the enemy's trench position, and the troops must have a certain amount of heavy firepower, which is very obvious in the attack on Shendanbao.

Song Biao was responsible for capturing this camp, while Esker was responsible for storming the opponent's headquarters, but there was a period of distance between the two, because the artillery regiment would follow the previous observation data to carry out intensive artillery attacks on the enemy's headquarters, and Chen Wu and the Siberian Infantry Regiment must attack the artillery positions at the same time, and the artillery of the Yue army could not be allowed to shoot back, even if the hit rate of this return was very low.

As the time approached, the troops had completed their deployment, approaching the position of less than 200 meters of the local camp, and some of the vanguard troops had further groped for the place close to the barbed wire, and were responsible for taking the lead in destroying the enemy's barbed wire and fences.

At this moment, Song Biao aimed at the sentry closest to him, thinking in his heart that this might be the last battle he needed to charge ahead, and from then on, what he needed to consider would not be the victory of a battle, but the mobilization and adjustment of the entire army.

He stared indifferently at his opponent in the scope, waiting for the time to approach.

Li Dayun watched the time for him in the back, as well as other news, and waited for a few minutes before Li Dayun suddenly reminded: "Master, there are still three minutes." ”

Song Biao asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Li Dayun said: "Sure, your watch will not be wrong, there is a night light, and you can see it clearly." ”

Song Biao snorted, re-observed the sentries in other positions and the situation of the entire camp for the last time, and the signal corps of each company quickly came back to report, and each company was ready, just waiting for the final attack order.

With only a minute in the last minute, Song Biao finally re-aimed at the sentry, and a trace of sweat quietly seeped out of his hand, what could it be to kill a soldier of the Yue Army, but after his shot, the whole set of powerful night attacks he designed would suddenly erupt.

In the entire Russo-Russian War, this will probably be the most classic night attack, and its scale is too large.

Da, da, da.......

"Thirty seconds to go...... Division! ”

Li Dayun barely finished speaking.

Song Biao had already pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew out at an instantaneous speed, away from the woods with a soft pop, that is, in an instant, the sentry of the army was shot in the chest, and the whole person fell crooked in the tower whistle.

It's just a good feeling.

Song Biao instantly aimed the muzzle of the gun at another point, the time was extremely short, with experience and intuition or the first time to lock on to the target, due to the lack of accurate aiming, the shooting distance was relatively far, he fired two shots in a row, one shot hit the opponent's shoulder, and the other shot hit the opponent's chest.

After another turn, he didn't lock on to the sentry on the southeast side in the shortest moment, but fortunately, the other party was in a light of light, which was why Song Biao set the other party as the final target.

Boom.

A soft, slightly muddy gunshot rang out in the woods, and the third sentry fell to the ground.

This is already Song Biao's extreme shooting level, and it is the best start and help for the troops.

When the time came, the soldiers of more than two companies rushed out first, and in accordance with the experience and requirements of the exercise, they rushed all the way to the other side's barbed wire, and several assault squads in ambush in front destroyed the barbed wire and other obstacles at the first time, and hundreds of soldiers began to rush forward directly.

The advantage of actual combat exercises is to increase experience, and experience is the most valuable asset of soldiers.

After this month's training for surnames, Song Biao has raised all the soldiers in his hands to a certain level in a certain field, what happened to the Russian soldiers, although they are almost illiterate and peasant Chinese at this time, as long as there is proper training, they can also be improved.

Aren't the soldiers of the Soviet Red Army also illiterate, the same for the four fields and the second fields.

After the previous task force approached the enemy barracks, they quickly erected dozens of ladders, and the follow-up troops began to climb the outer earthen wall of the camp on a large scale, this low earthen wall can actually be climbed as soon as it turns over as long as it has undergone rigorous training, without the help of any other tools, but with the plank ladder allows the troops to rush in quickly.

At the entrances of the two camps, two advance platoons set up machine guns and mortars at the same time, and built defensive walls with sandbags that had been prepared, and the follow-up troops continued to cross their advances under the cover of the advance platoons.

The 1st Infantry Regiment of the Far East had already occupied the periphery of the camp, and two special attack companies followed Li Fugui's reconnaissance company to the earthen wall, and the noisy footsteps only then alarmed the patrols of the Yue Army.

Boom.

In the middle of the night, someone suddenly fired a cold gunshot.

At this moment, almost all the infantry armed with guns stepped forward with their rifles, looking for cover, and fired back at the opponent, and the machine guns were directly mounted on the earthen wall of the enemy barracks, aiming at the entire camp from a high position.

It was only at this time that Song Biao and Major Kornilov established their regimental headquarters command area, let the signal corps check the situation everywhere, and the junior captains and lieutenants each led their troops into battle in person, and constantly seized advantageous positions in accordance with tactical norms.

1.5 kilometers away, the front and back Xiaoyu were almost simultaneously filled with gunfire and mortar bombardment, wave after wave, and the sound of machine gun fire was even more distinct in the middle of the night.

According to German standards, the military command post was located at a standard distance of 750 meters in front, and dense gunfire also rang out in the garrison camp area south of the military command post.

As if overnight, tens of thousands of troops rushed to the entire rear position.

And that's exactly what happened.

Time was so short, in the forward camp, the army had already begun to organize a hasty counterattack, first with external machine-gun fire, annihilating the hordes of the army, and then approaching at close range, followed by the assassination of Cossack spears and the bombardment of shotguns.

Suddenly there was a sharp sound in the sky, and several shells streaked across the sky, instantly approaching the command post of the enemy troops.

Although they were far apart, at the moment when the shells fell, the explosions and flashes that erupted were enough for Song Biao to be sure that the artillery shot was extremely accurate. Vajerisevich. Lieutenant Colonel Pakilov, although at night and lacking sufficient optical aiming assistance, was able to accurately strike the command post of the army with the distance marked on the map.

This was only the first round of test firings, and von . Major Esker, as the front-line commander, will send someone to notify the artillery regiment as soon as possible to confirm the accuracy of the artillery fire, so that the artillery batteries can readjust the coverage and area.

The headquarters and the 1st Reserve Brigade of the Fifth Army of the Manchurian Army were completely stunned at this time, and they did not expect this to be the case at all.

War requires luck, unfortunately the goddess of luck has no longer favored the army, she rarely favored Song Biao and the Russians once, so that they worked hard and luckily to find the rear position of the army.

This was indeed the last time Song Biao led the attack, and it could only be regarded as half a time, he did not continue to charge in front like a sergeant, or a front-line lieutenant, he is now the division commander of the entire Manchurian infantry division.

It's not that he doesn't fight bravely, it's not that he doesn't want to rush to the front line and kill the enemy with one bullet at a time, but because his responsibilities as a division commander and infantry colonel are more important.

In this temporary command center, he has a company of scouts and more than 60 communicators to call on, and there are more than 10 staff officers around him who are constantly sorting out all kinds of intelligence, most of them are Russian staff officers, and there are only two Chinese staff officers, Jiang Fangzhen and Shu Fangde, and Major Tu Vaniere serves as the first staff adjutant.

The information from all sides was quickly fed back, first of all, Feng. The information about artillery fire fed back by Major Esker accurately hit the enemy's military command post, and he had surrounded the enemy's military headquarters and built a blockade line on the perimeter, before that, they tried to eliminate the infantry brigade at the enemy's outpost with a white blade at night, and some mistakes caused the opponent to react relatively quickly, but still relied on more shotguns and four machine guns to tear apart the opponent's counterattack and seize the most advantageous high point.

Because the 1st Brigade of the Reserve Army was in a state of scattered defense, the other side could not effectively counterattack, and the protection around the command post of the military headquarters of the Japanese Army was obviously insufficient.

On the side of Chen Wu and the 4th and 5th Siberian Infantry Regiments, they had already broken through the defensive positions of the infantry wing of the Yue Army by virtue of their numerical superiority and tight night bayonet attack formation, and the vast majority of the Yue Army soldiers were killed in the first wave of the three regiments' strong attack.

Chen Wu took the lead with a battalion to raid the opponent's artillery position, which has not yet been captured, but in the follow-up, the 4th Infantry Regiment of Siberia has begun to come forward to support, and the report concludes that there is no big problem.

Hardly thinking too much, Song Biao immediately ordered Zhang Yahu's Manchurian 2nd Infantry Regiment to be transferred up, first sent two companies to assist the Ceshantinsk Infantry Regiment, giving priority to eliminating the opponent's infantry brigade in the middle of the mountains, and then sent a battalion of the engineer regiment to assist in setting up a defensive line outside the command post, mainly relying on artillery fire to hit the opponent's command post, and the infantry was responsible for intercepting the opponent from coming to the rescue.

The two sides were engaged in a fierce battle on a ridge line, to be exact, one side attacked fiercely and quickly, and the other side did not know what was going on.
